Numbers 36:5. “And Moses commanded the children of Israel according to the word of the Lord, saying, ‘The tribe of the sons of Joseph hath said well.” WELL SAID. Far too often in statements we hear, the words hadn’t made things clear at all. “What did he say” or “what did he mean”, “did he mean in spring or in fall?” Questions unanswered or not clarified, can complicate the actions we take. So when I say something I want folks to know, be clear in the statements I make.
When I am uncertain as to what is God’s will, or even the will of my brother. The best thing to do is go back to the source, rather than to complain to another. Find out what God meant when He says in His word, “Be content with all that you have.” Does that mean it’s wrong to go back on the job, or the money we have we’re to save?
The Bible is clear when the thoughts we compare with the issues that are here at hand. And a “Thus saith the Lord,” when the question comes up, brings the issue now to end. In my walk with the Lord, I find the answers are near, it’s my choice to open the pages Of God’s word to me, and then I will see, how doing His will affects my decisions.
With people it is different, sometimes what is said, is said and can be taken two ways. It may be deliberate, so if he changes his mind, he can still sort of mean what he says. Clarification needs to be made when you don’t really know what he meant saying those words. Speak up and make clear that you are still in the dark about all the things you have heard.
I can’t really change anyone but myself, I must take time to think before speaking. Do those listening to me really know what I mean – it is God’s Gospel I am preaching. To say it well, when the truth must be told in a way that listeners must know; Is required of me, because an account I must give, of each word I spoke here below.
Heaven or hell is the future of all who come nightly to hear what we say. How can I expect them to act on the truth, if they are not sure Christ’s the only Way. A sentence well said has more power in it, then an hour of talk that’s just words. To repeat over and over a thought to be made, is more effective than words by the load.
To say a truth well in a way understood is how I would like to be known. With words and expressions, facial and hands; are used that love can be shown. When my work is completed, my journey is over; I hope someone will be able to tell; “I understood what God meant, from sin I am saved; he was able to “say it well.”
“Father, I am still humbled by the fact that I have been allowed to be “put in trust with the Gospel.” I will be speaking those holy truths again tonight and I still am a man who needs help to say it well. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
